For Commercial HVAC Contractors
Win more commercial HVAC bids with AI-accelerated takeoff.
Canaveral is built for commercial mechanical contractors who need to move fast on complex projects. From office buildings to hospitals, our AI-native platform helps you take off ductwork, fittings, accessories, and hardware in a fraction of the time.
The Commercial HVAC Estimating Challenge
Tight bid deadlines
Commercial projects come with aggressive timelines. You need to turn around accurate quantity takeoffs fast without sacrificing precision on fittings, transitions, and accessories.
Complex duct systems
Large commercial buildings mean multi-floor systems with VAV boxes, diffusers, dampers, and hundreds of fittings. Manual counting leads to missed items and costly change orders.
Inconsistent material weights
Calculating accurate sheet metal weights for galvanized, stainless, and aluminum ductwork is tedious. Errors compound into material cost miscalculations.
Training new estimators
Confusing, bloated software makes onboarding a nightmare. New hires struggle with cluttered interfaces and unnecessary complexity instead of focusing on learning takeoff.
How Canaveral Helps
Automatic elbow and fitting insertion
Elbows, tees, reducers, transitions, and offsets are automatically added as you trace duct runs. No more manually counting fittings across 50-page plan sets.
SMACNA-standards metadata locking
Industry-standard guardrails for SMACNA Duct Construction. Hangars, connection standards, reinforcement rules, all built in to Canaveral.
AI-accelerated takeoff
Our QuickDraw feature reads dimensions directly from the plans. Hold Q to see suggested duct sizes and assign them with a single click. No more typing 24x12 over and over. SymbolSight lets you fly through equipment and distrubution item takeoff.
Custom Reporting
Generate takeoff reports formatted for your shop or preferred vendors. Export to Excel, PDF, or CSV with your company branding and pricing. Save templates for one-click exports across your team.
Clean, intuitive interface
Our best-in-class user interface gets out of the way so anyone can fly through takeoff in minutes—no lengthy training required. Junior estimators ramp up fast while seniors stay in flow.
